What's on

The 2008 carnival ran 14-16 November on the plaza in front of City Hall, with dozens of beef noodle stalls (many bowls at NT$50) next to a market of farm products. A visiting blogger saw queues still forming after 4 pm. Programme items that year included a health beef noodle launch, a Double Ninth seniors' event, a food-god selection, an international invitational, county-versus-city matches and photo and writing contests. Beef jerky sold well. The 2008 traditional champion was 劉宜敏; Chef Hung won the creative class.

How to read festival information

We work to keep festival information right, but festivals are run by others and details change. Here is how to read what you see on SoupFestivals.

Confirmed or expected

A confirmed date was announced for that edition. An expected date, such as "usually held around mid-October", is an estimate based on past editions, not an announcement.

Places can be approximate

We show a map pin and directions only when the venue's location is verified. If it is still unconfirmed, we keep the known venue name and town without a pin.

Check before you travel

Dates, prices, menus and venues can change, and festivals can be cancelled. Always confirm with the organizer before you go. If their information differs from ours, theirs is the one to follow.

Help us keep it right

If something looks wrong, tell us and we will look at it. Organizers can claim their festival page to send us updates.
